Music, Offbeat: Where are they now?: God-awful emo band Attack Attack!

  • Yeah, we know they only came out last year, but that’s a lifetime in the blog world. Remember about a year ago, when we first heard about the crapsterpiece that is Attack Attack!’s “Stick Stickly“? Jesus, it was awful. What’s up their sleeve now? “Sexual Man Chocolate,” which is, we #(!& you not, the name of the first single off of their self-titled second album, out in a little over a week. And yeah, it’s just as bad as “Stick Stickly.” No official video yet, though. We’re guessing they don’t want to screw it up again. Still, though, you have to, uh, respect their stance on their infamy: “Amidst the sensationalist reviews, mainstream news coverage, and viral video crazes, Attack Attack! would like to make one thing clear above all else; they’re definitely having more fun than you are right now.” Keep telling yourself that, guys. source

Music, World: Mexico tries looking out for the emo kids who might get beat up

  • Are you emo? You may get persecuted. Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission says that people who wear skinny jeans, listen to Taking Back Sunday, cry into their journal and have silly haircuts are in danger of attacks from others. Well, duh! It’s because you guys listen to emo. We understand. Here, for your own safety, Mexican teens, we’re introducing you to The Hold Steady. Thank us later. source
